I manually configure my computers ip address to 192.168.1.100, etc, etc. How can i specify the gateway, subnet mask, default dns in my winnt.sif, so my internet will be all ready after I install windows.

im using sp2 2149 how come windows update hasnt downloaded the sp2 final yet? I am planning on formatting soon with the final sp2 but not yet..

hmm i was hoping someone else had a fix for this issue:( I dont know if i can call ms anyways, the pc its on used to have a legit copy of xp home, but i loaded pro on it.. If anyone wants to help me out or see if they have this issue? I still get wireless connection and everything on the laptop but it has freezed if the card is in while booting or during windows.

I just formatted my dads laptop with xp sp2. Everything runs good until I pop in my dads linksys wpc11 pcmcia 802.11b card. Sometimes windows will freeze and it never seems to find a connection. Whenever wireless zero configuration service is enabled my computer will freeze right away once i plug in the wireless card. If i dont plug in the card its fine. If the service is off I can get a wireless connection but my dads laptop is freezing frequently. Is there some kind of bug with wirless and sp2 that causes freezing?

thanks for the info. IM not required to disable wfp as well am I?

how do I slipstream the tcpip.sys file into my xp sp2 cd? what is the process to get that file on and replace it with the current one on the disc?

I went to the event viewer and I see a bunch of warnings.. I guess Im way out of connections.... Arg I wish someone would crack this, but I guess ill run that patch or whatever was posted. EDIT: One of the parts on the site it says is "Now restart your computer an press F8 short after the Bios is done and start in securemode (don't know the right translation!)." What exactly is secure mode? Are they just referring to safe mode?

hmm.. im currently using sp2 2149 and havent really noticed a connection issue with bit torrent. although i just got a modded xbox and sometimes ill lose connection to the ftp.. not sure if thats cause of sp2 or not. so as of now, there is no way to remove this limitation"?

what exactly kind of problem is this feature presenting?

thanks for that info in2fun:) Now i better go and redo it lol

ok i renamed it to mpsetup.exe, and it worked. Are there any switches i need to install silently or no

Do I have to rename mpsetupxp to mpsetup? cause when i ran it and it was at the last step I got an error sayin i must copy mpsetup to redist folder first?

any ideas? Id like to use this method.. and gosh please help, im sure ur busy though

thats impossible considering this is the same key and cd i have always used...

will someone help! Why wont it accept my cdkey?

im just trying this for the first time, and when it first tells me to type my cdkey, it says invalid.. WHY! I tried so many times, this is the key i have always use

what is vmware? I heard of it, but never tried it.. is it hard to use

Ok i just spent some time finishing up my svcpack.inf file and it looks like: [Version] Signature="$Windows NT$" MajorVersion=5 MinorVersion=1 BuildNumber=2600 [setupData] CatalogSubDir="\i386\Update" [ProductCatalogsToInstall] KB826939.cat [setupHotfixesToRun] update.exe -q -n HU1002_PRO.exe /Q:A /R:N JS56NEN.exe /Q:A /R:N Q282010.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q322011.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q327979.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q814995.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q816093.exe /Q:A /R:N Q817778.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q818529.exe /Q:A /R:N Q820291.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q821253.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q822925.exe /Q:A /R:N Q823182.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q824105.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q824141.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q825119.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q828026.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q828035.exe /Q /U /N /Z Q828750.exe /Q:A /R:N QCHAIN.exe EDIT: BTW, these are all critical updates and recommedned updates i have gathered by formattin and righting down the updates i need, then ghosting back to my usng norton ghost so i can download them. Is there anything missing or something that shouldnt be here? I wanna burn this and format, my pc needs it badly

greenmachine, if i leave it as the guide says it will still work though right? Its just not needed.

were any of these guides actually tested out lol! I dont want to go format and have it all messed up

Ok, i just took a long time gettin the lastest hotfixes, and comparing and deleting the ones i had that rollup 1 covered. This picture also includes the recomended updates I need/want for my system. Now i am left with http://mywebpages.comcast.net/tristansmith...87/hotfixes.JPG Which updates will work with the qchain thingy, and which do i have to put in my main batch file

im confused.. is that the same file i have already or is it something different? and where u wrote dahotfix.exe, is that what im supposed to write? or fill that in with the name of the file? lol, i need some sort of live communication like aol or msn to talk with u guys for help.. im so lost:( Lastly, open up DOSNET.inf in the i386 directory and add the following text into the blank space you see in Notepad. (You can skip this part if you have already done the Update Rollup Slipstream): [OptionalSrcDirs] Update Do i have to do this part? I already just did the update rollup1 slplit stream..

ok, what is the correct code for the mdac thing?

should i just keep them in the batch file like i have them or put them in my svcpack.inf? What is the better way? And ont he MSFN site it mentions something about an svcpack folde and qchain.exe. Where do i put these files.. I am referring to http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/installhotfixes.htm

i need some more help aaron:) How do i install the rest of the my hotfixes? just keep them the way they are, or do it some new way
